Once you have absorbed the beauty of Giverny, hop back on the bus, heading to Moulin de Fourges or the Bistrot du Moulin restaurant for a delightful lunch of traditional Normand fare. Savor a fish terrine with sour farm cream and mixed green salad, followed by roasted chicken breast with mushroom cream and mashed potato with salted butter. Indulge your sweet tooth with a Norman apple tart accompanied by a scoop of ice cream. Pair your meal with white and red wine or local cider, and complete it with coffee or tea.
